> the ever increasing layers of abstraction in computing where a supercomputer at home can have trouble rendering a basic desktop interface without latency these days.

This is such an embarrassment. It is lunacy that a modern desktop OS feels more sluggish than a late 90s box.

I wonder how much of the perceived lag in modern OSes would be mitigated by a buzzing chunking HD or floppy though. Like you could hear the computer working.
